Ruling beats back a lawsuit by a Republican election board member linked to an election denialist organization
Election certification is a mandatory duty, not discretionary, for county election officials inĀ Georgia, a judge ruled on Tuesday, rejecting assertions made by aĀ Republican elections official that elections board members could refuse to certify an election based on their suspicions of fraud or error.
Julie Adams, a Republican member of the Fulton county board of registration and elections, brought theĀ suitĀ earlier this year after abstaining from a vote to certify the May primary election. TheĀ America First Policy Institute, a legal thinktank that was formed by formerĀ Donald Trump advisers in the wake of Trumpās 2020 election loss to help lay legal groundwork for his potential return to office, joined the suit.
Adams refused certification after claiming she had been denied access to a long list of elections documents. But Robert McBurney, Fulton county superior court judge, ruled that Adams was entitled to review documents quickly, but failing to provide those documents was not grounds for denying the certification of an election.

Get absolutely fucked, traitorous fascists.
Itās mind boggling how these pieces of trash are walking free.
America used to know how to deal with traitors.

Did it, though?
